Duddy

Sophia calls her Duddy (duh-dee) by name now. It is the one of the sweetest things I have ever seen to watch how Jared's face lights up every time she calls for her Duddy.

Whenever Jared walks into the room and she sees him, a huge smile spreads across her face, she throws her arm out towards him and says excitedly, "Duddy!!!"

When it is nap time, and I'm giving her a bottle, she constantly breaks from drinking, looks towards the door to the other room where she knows Jared is, and asks, "Duddy?" It's all he can do to keep from running in to his little girl.

Even in the morning, right when she wakes up, we hear her sweet little voice over the monitor saying, "Duddy? Duddy! Dada! Da! Duddy!?"

Jared's joy culminated yesterday when we were on a walk, and I said, "Sophia, say Ma-ma. Maaa-maaa." She looked up at me, smiled, and boldly said, "Daaah-deeee."
